50 Years of Ordination
A conversation with Subhuti
In the last 50 years, Subhuti has played a major role in the establishment of an international Buddhist movement, teaching extensively in India, Hungary, Mexico and the UK. As the driving force behind the building of the LBC and a leading figure throughout its history, we want to gather to hear about his life and celebrate his achievements. On this special evening, he’ll be in conversation with Manjusiha.
